If you're like me, sometimes when you start a new page it can feel a bit overwhelming. Sitting down to the computer without an idea to start with, can often leave you staring at the blank screen. Unsure where to begin. This is where today's inspiration comes into play. It's times like this when all you might need is a little jump start. Just a tiny something to get the creative ball rolling... and today I've got exactly that! I've created a beautiful cluster frame for you using Mary's most recent collaboration with Gwenipooh Desings "Whispers of Spring".

My cluster frame is 300 DPI, so you can easily resize it to fit your own personal needs. Simply plug in a photo, add a few ribbons, some snips of paper, a border, a spray of baubles and Voila! You'll have a created a lovely work of art in no time at all :)

Clicking on the image below will start your download.

Thanks for stopping in today... Happy Scrapping!We'll see you next week!!

Hi there! Melanie [aka scrappymelly] here with a little peek at what Mary's got coming out this week. Remember the super cute kit that came out last week in the newsletter? Well Mary teamed up with Gwenipooh Designs again and they came out with an add-on to that newsletter kit!

It's got even more of the same spring colors and elements for you to work with. And let me tell you, it was so much fun to work with!

Now, would you like to have this beautiful kit for free? Well one lucky reader can! Just head over to this thread at ScrapMatters and leave a comment here telling me what your favorite part of spring is. I'll come back tonight and choose a random winner! Pretty easy huh?

So leave your comment and keep those fingers crossed - I'll be back tonight with the winner!

Another way to be inspired to scrap again, is to participate in a challenge! ScrapMatters has a different challenge almost every day of the week!

And finally, try scraplifting a layout from a different scrapper! This is one of my favorite things to do, and a great way to be inspired and leave someone love at the same time! If you aren't sure what scraplifting is, it is making a layout based on someone else's. You might be inspired by their color choice, their placement of photos and elements, or the theme of their photos all together! Here is a link to Mary's Designer gallery! Try scraplifting one of these beautiful layouts to get those creative juices flowing! http://scrapmatters.com/gallery3/showgallery.php/cat/1090

I hope these suggestions have made you want to get out there and start scrapping again! Have a wonderful Wednesday!!!
